Hot Or Not iPhone App

Remember when we told you about computers that can rate how attractive you are? Well, you can now be judged on the go! GeekSugar reports on the new Vanity iPhone app, which takes or imports a photo (it has to be a face-forward close-up) and then instructs you to mark the locations of various parts of the face, like the outsides of the nose and the center of the bottom of the chin. Press "calculate" and you get a rating from one to ten. We took a deep breath and ran our picture through and were pretty happy that we scored an 8.8. But Vanity is only about proportion—our hair didn't look that hot, but the program could have cared less. By the same token, features that grab the human heart like sparkly eyes, flawless skin, or a magnetic smile would also be beneath its notice. So we say enjoy the app—it's probably great at parties or in a bar—but take the results with a grain of silicone.
